Guadalest

Guadalest is a magical small village tucked high into the hills inland from Alicante and Benidorm on the Costa Blanca. This interesting website gives more pictures and information on the town. This is a must-visit destination if you are in the area.

For a fantastic, fully authentic regional meal, try the El Riu restaurant on the winding road as it ascends from the small town of Polop to Guadalest. We stopped there for lunch and still talk about it!

Panoramic view of the scenic dam in the valley below Guadalest. Yes, the colours really were like that!
